There werent many things in the news today that intrigued me like this article did. I wouldve never imagined that I myself personally would give a "rats ass" about saddam. However, in this news article I wanted to read about one of the cruelest rulers on earth, and how he spent his last days of life. The excerpts and knowledge of this mans life were cunningly surprising. Journal entries, a small garden that he was allowed to exercise, philosophical words coming from such an ugly name intrigued me to continue reading the article, where I continued to read how bodyguards had a special nickname for him. I find it interesting how people change once they face serious consequences, or thier life becomes in jeopardy. Such serious consequences make you realize how short life can be, and definately makes you question how you might be spending life, after death.. Also, how saddam may have had a side to him that was never revealed in such a light as the things mentioned in this article because of all unfortunate choices made in killing his own people. He made bad choices that would leave him as un ugly man in history, like hitler. but in his last days he speaks an unknown language that many people (like myself) find hard to take seriously, or believe coming from such a man :
"Dear nation: Get rid of the hatred, take the clothes of hate and throw it into the ocean of hatred," he wrote. "God will save you and you will start a clean life, with a clean heart."
Pretty crazy, huh?

i feel that when you realize how short life is, you live with no fear and you dont think twice of your actions. When i think about how there really is no life because we all die and in the end the form of life will be gone. So as of now i feel that i live life with taking chances and that you can live life in fear. I feel when saddam said "Dear nation: get rid of the hatred, take the clothes of hate and throw it into the ocean of hatred," "god will save you and you will start a clean life, with a clean heart". Maybe in his views he had to do something meaningful and opposite of his quote so that everyone else in the world could live that way. Or hes just a prick and hes a dickhead for what hes done and he writes that feeling thats what he shoulda done. But i feel that god will take you and lead you to the life you're supposed to live.
